by Ann Rule (Author)
True crime icon Ann Rule presents a "must-read" (People) New York Times bestseller--and inspiration behind the Lifetime movie A House on Fire--following a woman whose apparent perfect life hides a harrowing and deadly madness.
Debora Green, a doctor and mother in a picturesque and exclusive Kansas town, seems to have the perfect life with her own medical practice, a handsome physician husband, and three lovely children. It seems like a horribly tragic accident when a raging fire destroys her home and takes two lives. But a trail of clues leads investigators to an unthinkable conclusion.
In this "tour de force from America's best true crime writer" (
Kirkus Reviews), Ann Rule reveals the disturbing secrets--including infidelity, suicide, revenge, and murder--hiding beneath a façade of paradise in the American heartland.
